Kampfe Management Services is a community based program. Our goal is to facilitate traumatically brain-injured adults to become as independent as possible from a functional and behavioral base. Our program is individually based. We write a habilitation plan (IHP) for each client. When a client enters our program, we run a 30 day assessment plan which becomes the basis for the habilitation plan. This plan focuses on their cognitive deficits and strategies that need to be learned to compensate for the barriers. The IHP describes their programs, deficits that we are addressing, strategies we are employing, and a time frame. Each program is documented from which we compile data at the end of the month to track their progress.

Listed below are the basic services we provide. Since we are individually based, other programs could be added to meet the specific need of each client. These programs are all done one-on-one with staff.

Medication Management: Client fills med cassette for the week. staff administers medication.

This is done one-on-one with a case manager. At this time each week, we evaluate the progress and behavioral choices of each client. At this time we also evaluate the week in terms of meeting short term goals.
Vocational Placement: This consists of job development, job placement and job coaching.

My goal as program coordinator is to facilitate the staff in providing a safe community. It is important that staff as well as client be treated with respect and dignity. I believe it takes courage and determination to improve. This is their home and we strive to be a team to support the client as they risk becoming more independent.
